I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

On the left, a freight worker was carrying five or six large sacks on his shoulders and was running just as fast as a 100-meter sprinter. Li Guowei and the others could only vaguely see a few wisps of green on his shoulders and heels.

At this moment, everyone was not just stunned, but completely bewildered.

what is happening?

After witnessing the bullets fired by soldiers during shooting practice freezing targets, the mechanics building stone platforms to support vehicles on the spot, and the electrical maintenance personnel generating electricity out of thin air to test whether the circuit was working properly, the group finally arrived at their accommodation in the western district of the base, led by Qi Ji.

Standing in front of the residence, Li Guowei couldn't help but ask on behalf of everyone, "Captain Qi, what... what exactly is going on here?"

Qi Ji looked at everyone and gave them a meaningful smile.

"Comrades, you've traveled for half a day, you must be tired. Take a good rest today. As for what you're curious about, there will be an explanation first thing tomorrow morning."

Seeing Qi Ji say this, no one dared to ask any more questions, no matter how curious they were. Then, under Qi Ji's arrangement, everyone checked into their own rooms.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the loudspeaker in the scholars' dormitory started playing.

"Comrades in the West Zone 1 dormitory, please assemble in the conference hall of the West Zone 1 Research Park before 8:00 AM after breakfast."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Li Guowei and the others, who were having a meal in the dormitory's private dining room, immediately quickened their pace and then all of them headed to the West Zone 1 Research Park.

Despite being new to the area, Li Guowei and his colleagues managed to reach the West Zone 1 Research Park before 8:00 AM by asking for directions.

When Li Guowei arrived at the conference hall in the research institute area, he suddenly discovered that there were other people there, all of whom were physics scholars like them, including some of his old acquaintances.

"Liu Yu!"

"Old Li!"

"Old classmate!"

Li Guowei immediately stepped forward and hugged his old classmate whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Liu Yu, people from your Huadan Institute of Physics are here too?"

"Yes, not only us, look over there, people from Xiaming University are here too, and over there are people from the Jiangcheng Institute of Physics, and..."

Li Guowei gasped in surprise: "So many people? What kind of project are we going to participate in?"

Liu Yu said, "I don't know, but I think I'll find out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from afar.

A familiar figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

Hong Jianjun, General Hong.

"Comrades, did you rest well yesterday? The food at our Qianhai base is pretty good, isn't it?"

Hong Jianjun's humorous remarks elicited laughter in the meeting room.

Hong Jianjun laughed heartily twice, then got straight to the point.

"When you all arrived yesterday, you must have seen those amazing things all over the base, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's ears perked up.

Although the researchers present came from different places and arrived at the base at different times, they couldn't possibly have missed the incredible things that happened so frequently, such as generating electricity out of thin air and unpowered flying platforms.

Hong Jianjun laughed and said, "I'm sure some of you have already guessed it. Those amazing things are actually the application of our latest technologies. This underwater base, in particular, was built quickly using these new technologies."

At this moment, Li Guowei raised his eyebrows slightly.

Yesterday, he did wonder if those strange things were all new technologies, and now that they've been confirmed, it's as if his thoughts from yesterday have been proven true.

But when did China develop and apply these amazing new technologies?

This question is probably on the minds of most scholars present, not just Li Guowei.

As if understanding what everyone was thinking, Hong Jianjun smiled and said, "Comrades, you may also be curious about how these new technologies were developed and how they are applied, as well as what their principles are."

"I can tell you comrades that these new technologies come from a place you would never imagine."

As Hong Jianjun spoke, he pressed the remote control in his hand, and the large projection screen behind him slowly lowered, revealing a huge map in front of everyone.

It was a map that no one had ever seen before.

"This is an otherworldly place called Teyvat."

"And that is why you comrades have been gathered here."

Chapter 360 draws a dividing line in history.

Another world.

When Li Guowei heard this word, his mind went blank for a moment.

This word sounds incredible, but it came from General Hong Jianjun. General Hong has no reason to deceive everyone, so it must be the truth.

Otherwise, how were these incredible technologies—such as those elevator platforms that generate electricity out of thin air, live in place, and have no power connection, as well as this massive underwater secret base—achieved?

At the very least, it is difficult to explain using the existing theoretical framework of Earth.

Clearly, the scholars seated in the conference hall also realized this, and their expressions gradually changed from shock to excitement.

If you were to ask a scholar pursuing academic research what interests him most, it would probably be nothing more than a new theoretical system and scientific discovery.

At that moment, some scholars in the conference hall raised their hands.

Hong Jianjun asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"

The scholar who raised his hand stood up. He was a young scholar who wore black-rimmed glasses and looked to be around thirty years old. At that moment, his face was filled with undisguised excitement.

"General Hong, may I ask a question?"

"of course."

"Excuse me, is this 'other world' in the literal sense?"

The scholar swallowed hard, his mouth slightly dry from excitement.

He believed this was the question most people wanted to ask. Although everyone probably already had a concept of what this other world was, they still needed official confirmation to feel completely at ease, rather than their own understanding.

Hong Jianjun nodded and said, "Yes, it is a world in the literal sense, a world different from our Blue Star. Of course, whether this world called Teyvat exists in the same universe as our Blue Star or in a completely different universe is unknown. We haven't collected enough information for us to study this yet."

Hong Jianjun continued, "The entrance to this other world is in our Bohai Bay area. We call the passage connecting our Blue Star and the other world the Gate of the World. Currently, the existence of this other world is top secret. To prevent foreign forces from interfering, we have built such a secret underwater base in the waters near Qindao City, which is closest to the Gate of the World, to study the discovery of this other world."

"Six months ago, our China sent an advance team to explore the Teyvat continent. The technologies you saw before were the result of this exploration, and there are many other achievements as well."

At this point, Hong Jianjun suddenly picked up a thermos from the table in front of him and said with a smile, "Take this kind of thermos for example. The inner insulation layer uses a mineral called karst stone from the Teyvat continent. This mineral has the property of constant temperature. The thermos made with this mineral can keep the temperature for a week without losing any heat. And this kind of thermos has already been put into production and is widely sold in the Chinese market."

Upon hearing this, everyone present sighed in admiration.

Many of them had used this kind of thermos. For example, Li Guowei had a thermos of the same model in his luggage. When it was sold, he felt that the insulation effect of this new type of thermos was ridiculously good. He never expected that it was the result of his exploration of another world.

After that, Hong Jianjun gave everyone a brief explanation of the general situation of the Teyvat continent, and then got to the real topic.

"The project you will be working on next is related to a certain new technology from another world. The person in charge of this project will explain the details to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the large projection screen behind Hong Jianjun flickered twice, and then a face appeared on the screen.

"Greetings, comrades. I am Han Jie."

"It's Professor Han!"

"It's Professor Han!"

Upon seeing Han Jie appear on the screen, a murmur of discussion arose among the many scholars in the conference hall.

The scholars present were mostly from physics-related fields, and naturally they all recognized this elderly man, who was considered a leading figure in the Chinese physics community and even the world physics community.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of this project was Professor Han Jie.

A wave of emotion swept through the group of scholars.

Compared to the surprise of the others, Li Guowei, standing in the middle of the crowd, showed more astonishment and sudden realization.

"It's actually the teacher..."

Yes, Li Guowei is a student of Han Jie.

Li Guowei hadn't heard any news about his teacher for more than half a year. It turned out that his teacher had long since participated in the national campaign, which explained why he hadn't been able to contact him for the past six months.

Han Jie, who was on the video call, coughed lightly and continued, "Everyone, the project we are going to study next is a project about space teleportation technology."

At this point, many scholars present subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

Most of the people present were leading figures in the field of physics, with considerable research experience in space-related areas.

No one knows better than them just how difficult space teleportation technology is to achieve.

But now Han Jie is saying that their project is related to space teleportation technology.

Could it be that the relevant technological principles were discovered in another world?

Han Jie's next words confirmed everyone's thoughts.

"I am currently in Teyvat. We have discovered a new type of teleportation technology in an ancient Teyvat ruin. We have complete information on its principles and applications. What we need to do now is to replicate this technology."

It really is space teleportation technology!

Many scholars present, including Li Guowei, experienced a brief moment of mental blankness.

Space teleportation technology is like a trump card; if it were realized, its strategic significance would be several levels higher than that of nuclear weapons.

The world today is a world of checks and balances based on nuclear deterrence. Any major power on Earth that possesses nuclear weapons would be deterred from large-scale conflicts because of their existence. If, at this time, a country suddenly mastered space teleportation technology, it could use a teleportation device to enclose its entire territory during a war. All missiles fired by an enemy country would be instantly teleported back to the enemy's territory, and missiles fired by this country would also be sent directly to the enemy's territory via the teleportation device. No matter how advanced the air defense system is, it would be impossible to stop them.

Nuclear deterrence will never exist again.

It can be said that whoever masters the technology of space teleportation will have the power to control the world.

Besides these, space teleportation technology has also been used in a variety of fields such as transportation, interstellar exploration, and even biological sciences, with an unimaginable range of applications.

At that moment, everyone understood.

This is a project that could draw a dividing line in the history of humankind on Earth!
